Dealing with diagnosis
Psychological Perspectives of Chronic Condition Management For someone who has received the news that they have a chronic condition, such as Klinefelter’s Syndrome (KS) (which is a chronic genetic condition), the news can be difficult to understand, difficult to accept and subsequently, the adjustment can be difficult.
What is Klinefelter’s Syndrome?
Klinefelter’s syndrome (KS) is named after the doctor who first described it in 1942. It is a congenital (present from conception) disorder affecting males, in which the affected individual has extra copies (one or more) of the sex chromosomes. It is not an inherited condition.

Learning Needs of Children with KS – Information for Teachers & Parents
Recent years have seen the tide turning in the ways that youngsters with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (KS)/XXY have managed at school. This is reflected in the statistics of the Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association survey which pointed out that, whilst virtually no adults had attended special schools as children, the figure had risen to around 1 in 3 by 1999. There is still a long way to go; many parents still feel the frustration of battling against cash- strapped education authorities for help, and many teachers long for insight into the minds of youngsters with complex needs.
